Millions around the world are mourning the death of Steve Jobs last night at the age of 56. President Obama said he was "bold enough to believe he could change the world and talented enough to do it." In his now-famous 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University, Jobs reminded, "You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma whatever, because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even if it leads you off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference." Andrew Blum, correspondent for Wired magazine, looks back at his extraordinary career and accomplishments.
